Hey friends, come on in!
In this video, I’m takin’ you on a full house tour. We bought this home in May 2019, and it was our first time as homeowners! It’s a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath in Austin, TX. We are now actually in the process of building our dream house together, and while we are excited for it, we will surely miss this place.
Y’all have been askin’ for it, so this felt like the perfect opportunity for me to document this space before we move. I know I’ll be able to look back on this with a big ol’ smile on my face.
Without further ado, here’s our home.
Entryway
We don’t really have much space for storage in this area of the house, and so we try to keep things as tidy as possible by giving everything a home (this is a process we stick to throughout the house). There’s a shelf that Andrew built, and it’s really perfect for storing our mail, keys, wallet, sunglasses, just all of the odds and ends that we grab as we’re going in and out. If you’re like us and don’t have a lot of room for storage, I definitely recommend using bins and baskets. This is how we stay organized and group like-minded things together so that we can reduce the amount of clutter that can build up.
Kitchen
We definitely consider our kitchen the heart of our home. We do a lot of cooking at home, so it gets messy very quickly, but it’s our happy spot. I love how open the kitchen is, how white and bright it is. We’ve hung plants by the window, and it just feels like a very peaceful place to be.
To reduce clutter, we try to keep out only the essentials that we use daily, and then we store everything else underneath in our cabinets. I also have a “daily rituals corner” where I keep my matcha bowl, my utensils, my probiotic, my tea… things that I access daily. It makes it easy for me to choose the things that I know make me feel good from the inside out when they’re handy.
Our glasses, flatware, plates, and bowls are from a brand called Year & Day, and I highly recommend them. We’ve had them for three years now, and so far, everything is held up wonderfully. When we move into our new house next year, we definitely will be ordering from them again.
